Western comfort and its consequences have been a disaster for politics.

I don't think I've seen anyone with the story of the "X" fandom being persecuted by their secret police. So I wonder where the cliché is.

It was a lot more common back during ye olden days back when MLP was still running, rainfurrest was still in recent memory, and SJW-owned compilations were getting millions of views. (AKA the far off year of 2017)

There is literally an entire issue in this game that was made to troll moderators and other NS staff who liked MLP and was originally only receivable by site staff.

Oh my god I love it. Though, it seems Option 3 enacts the policies No Aircraft, No Automobiles, and Slavery which just adds to it.

Still, the only way you can get it is if you have "friendship" in the motto or any customizable field, and it only appears once.

It's bloody gold regardless.

I find the notion that an actual government that wants to be taken seriously would ever explicitly “ban the furry fandom”. I don’t think North Korea has even done that

Cliché: NS adbots using NS nation names like Nationalist Northumbria, Vassenor and South Hampden,and I'm surprised that they haven't tried to impersonate me.

THEY FUCKING KNOW OUR NAMES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

North Korea would never ever ban furries because they’ve probably never heard of them.

I don’t think their children will ever become furries just watching Squirrel and Hedgehog and going, ‘hey, that American fox is pretty hot’.

The impersonation adbots aren't bots (neither are regular adbots) or even actual adbots tbh. They're just bored dipshits trying to get certain users banned because 'LOOK THEY'RE SPAMMING THE BOARD' for whatever reason.

But of course, they're also idiots because the mods can tell that it's not the actual user making these accounts.

There was one time in 10000 Islands where an impersonator was going around as Valentine Z and was like "Heyyyy hi, Val here!"

I got a heads-up for that from someone (thanks!) and I quickly swooped in and went "Ahahaha, no you are not me." followed by sharing my puppet list with the Regional Officers, on top of filing a GHR. Poor sod didn't last that long.

The name was actually pretty darn unimaginative too.

IIRC back in like 2014-2015 there was some troll who had a random grudge against me. What I recall is they harassed me through TGs and kept spamming the forums with shit about how they needed to destroy me because I'm a 'jerk' or something like that?

I have no idea who the fuck they were but they never reappeared after that.

There was also that guy pretending to be NVI (New Visayan Islands) and another bot claiming to be a hacker.

I'm still surprised that there are no bots impersonating me.

that certainly doesn't help your case

Honestly merely attempting to enforce a ban against a set interest that can be considered both niche and non-self destructive (ergo, banning WH40K figure collection as a hobby and extending it to all things WH40K or Warhammer-related) not only is hilariously pointless but also achieves nothing while proving itself quickly as a waste of time.

Is it even remotely possible? Depends, but in very select and overly specific instances, perhaps.

Should it be done? I mean, if you want to make your country look like it's run by clowns, sure why not. Everyone will have fun pointing and laughing. Everyone but YOU of course.

Of course, there are still some nations that DO censor some things, but it's more tied to media than flat out "NOOO STOP HAVING FUN, THAT IS ILLEGAL!!!" because someone decided to enjoy drawing anthropomorphic creatures or painting miniatures. Or even collecting cards.

95% of the time it is just the user's thinly veiled beliefs
the rest is low hanging irony

*98%

But yea, there's a thin line between making a good nation that is distanced from reality and the user's life... And making a self-insert nation that follows the user's cringe beliefs to a T and makes them into the biggest clown without them realizing it.

Though there's a good plenty of the latter that aren't flat out cringe built off garbage takes and narcissistic glory that luckily makes the especially poorly written examples the very small minority.
